Why Manipal Hospitals?
The treatment of spinal disorders involves standing at the crossroads of two different streams of medicine – orthopaedics and neurosurgery – and it becomes imperative to take the correct route with a multidisciplinary team that evaluates the case in its totality. Depending upon the prolapsed disc and its size, there is an option to manage the condition with an epidural injection, micro-discectomy, or even complete decompression and fusion surgery. The spine department at Manipal Hospital Hebbal comprises orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons who evaluate each difficult case as a team. Individuals and families seeking a spine centre in Hebbal, Bangalore, will find our programme built on:
- High-resolution MRI and CT imaging with multiplanar reconstructions that visualise nerve root impingement and spinal canal dimensions in detail
- Intraoperative neuromonitoring that provides real-time feedback on spinal cord and nerve root function during surgery, acting as an early warning system
- A structured non-operative pathway that exhausts physiotherapy, guided injections, and activity modification before surgical options are discussed
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques using tubular retractors that reduce muscle disruption and shorten postoperative recovery
- Individualised return-to-work plans that consider the physical demands of each patient's occupation and set realistic timelines

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Most disc prolapse cases improve over time with physical therapy and pain management. When there is progressive weakness, debilitating pain not controlled conservatively and symptoms involving the bladder or bowel, then surgical management is recommended.
Microdiscectomy involves the removal of a fragment of the ruptured disc through a small incision under an operating microscope. An open discectomy involves a larger exposure. At At our spine centre in Hebbal, Bangalore, we favour the microsurgical approach whenever it is anatomically suitable.
It involves staying at the hospital for two to four days. It takes between six and twelve months for the fusion to heal completely. Most patients return to work in an office setting within four to six weeks and begin light duties within three months, depending on the success of the fusion, as monitored by periodic X-rays.
Yes. Non-surgical treatment can help many patients with spinal stenosis. Surgery is needed when walking distance becomes severely limited or when bladder or bowel function is affected.
If you experience sudden numbness in your legs, sudden incontinence of either the bladder or bowels, or gradually increasing weakness in the arms or legs, you would need an urgent consultation. Such a scenario can be a case of cauda equina syndrome or spinal cord compression.
